Lap-Dancing Is Not A Tax-Exempt Art Form, Says New York Court"The owners of Nite Moves, an exotic dance club near Albany, New York, had sought to have pole dancing and private lap dances qualified as tax exempt since revenue collected from 'dramatic or musical arts performances' is not taxable under state law. But the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, decided against the club in a 4-3 ruling handed down on Tuesday."
